Why would a productive and skilled member of society work for people who want to destroy everything?
How can those who destroy create their own skilled technicians who have only the promise of a wasteland in front of them?
This is the end result of feminized beaurocracy. 1000 middle managers trying to tell a handful of skilled and experienced men to save then from catastrophe.
The world in its entirety will grind to a halt if those men say "no".

Working for a large corporation, this hit a bit close to home. All too true
I keep hearing this from everybody I talk to. We're living through the last generation of old white guys who actually know how to get shit done propping up their diversity hire replacement/managers. In the next decade corporate America is going to come crashing down hard and fast.
Boeing was a train wreck when I was there 25 years ago. They are probably the only American corporation that really did see efficiency gains by offshoring their software work to India -- because by doing that, Boeing management couldn't constantly fuck with the specifications and drag people into useless meetings five times a week.
Part of my job was literally cleaning the microwave and the refrigerator and vacuuming the floor, because they'd imported "Japanese management" techniques which said that the employees were to maintain their own work area. Which is fine, if they really wanted to pay my contracting agency $120/hr to clean a microwave (of which I got $55) I'd take it.
I was on DCAC/MRM for a year. Toward the end of that year, my manager held a big meeting in which he congratulated us for the immense amount of hours we'd accomplished toward our "statement of work". I did the math, it averaged out to 48 productive hours per person for the entire year for the people in the room.
My current plan is to quit, start a consultancy and charge 10 times my current rate. I feel pretty good about getting it too, because I have specialized knowledge and the other people on my team are the social media girl who orders the coffee, the social media girl who makes sure the coffee isn't racist, the account girl who organizes sit-ins for vegans in the lunchroom, the old guy who spends his days cruising yoga moms on facebook and secretly roots for the heart attack to take him out of this sad sad world, and me -- the one who actually makes the widgets we sell.
My employer's critical industry is literally hiring old white guys out of retirement to try to keep the innovation coming. We have guys pushing 70 developing cutting edge stuff, because we just can't find reliable young people to do the work.
I'm fully expecting that in the next 15 or 20 years we will have to accept that nothing works and a lot of people you deal with will be incompetent and have lots of attitude that is unless we are all at home drawing UBI. In that event things will still not work.

You already started seeing that with Boeing. Literally.
